Does the car run good? Is the idle nice and solid?
What's your air pressure in the tires?
Have you been running the A/C? Do you drive in traffic with the A/C?

good questions...have you been eliminating variables? because you got the car in february probably means you didnt use the AC..now its almost summer and im sure you have been using it. that surely contributes.

open windows at highway speeds does the same number on your gas tank as having the A/C on in traffic.
